I'm not superstitious or anything, but I don't believe in pushing my luck either. So today's not the day I take up skydiving. You know what I mean?

Apartments bought

The number is $467 million and the recipient is Equus Capital Partners. That's how much Equus got for selling 22 apartment properties (3,426 individual units) located in Pennsylvania. The properties were put on the market last year. More than 100 tours were given and 68 offers extended. More on this and other quick hits of recent deals can be seen here, reported by Natalie Kostelni.

Arena-style food & more

Saying no to trying something called fried pork wings is beyond my powers of will, how 'bout you?

Fried pork wings are only one of the new goodies to eat this year at the Wells Fargo Center, where the 76ers and Flyers do their thing. John George was on hand for a preview of everything folks can experience down on South Broad. Check out his photo gallery.

More on Amazon HQ2

Will some place in the Philadelphia region be blessed with Amazon's HQ2? Do we deserve such magnanimous bounty from the great godhead Bezos? Who knows? is my definitive answer to both questions.

But research undertaken by a slew of journalists, researchers and other people good at math for American City Business Journal's mammoth project called The Amazon Effect points to the online retailer's tech hubs as possibly a clue to where the HQ2 could go. See for yourself.

Aroma therapy

Two well-respected Philadelphia organizations are sniffing around each other to see if a merger between the two passes the smell test.

In other words, I am now stopping with the annoying puns.

Jefferson Health and the Monell Center, a giobal leader in the study of taste and smell, announced they're going to discuss possibly combining the two institutions.

Jefferson certainly has a taste for mergers. In recent years, it teamed up with Abington and Aria health systems, Kennedy Health and Philadelphia University.
